Two neutral gapless modes with linear dispersion J relations are identified and the ratio of the two velocities is close to √3. The novel excitation 5 spectra are classified into two classes: Charge neutral bosonic 2-body bound states and Charge 2 1 fermionic 3-body bound states. In general, there are two 2-body Kosterlize-Thouless (KT) ± transition temperatures and one 3-body KT transition. The Charge 1 3-body fermionic bound ] ± l states may be the main dissipation source of transport measurements. The broken symmetry in l a terms of SU(3) algebra is studied. The structure of excitons and their flowing patterns are given. h The coupling between the two Goldstone modes may lead to the broadening in the zero-bias peak - in the interlayer correlated tunnelings of the TLQH. Several interesting features unique to TLQH s e are outlined. Limitations of theCB approach are also pointed out. m . I.
